OIL-STRAINER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed .Tune 3, 1910. Serial No. 564,890.

and useful Improvements in Oil-Strainers,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention 1s an improvement in filters and especlally 1n oilfilters or filters `designed for use in cleansing and purifyinggasoline, kerosene, and other hydro-carbons, and the invention has foran object to provide a novel construction which will remove the sedimentand other impurities and will stop the passage of water with thehydro-carbon so the hydro-carbon will be delivered to the point for usefree of sediment and the like and without Water so it will operateeffectively for the desired purpose.

rlhe invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinationsof parts as will be hereinafter described and claimed.

In the ,drawing Figure l is an elevation of my invention as in use. Fig.2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the filter. Fig. 3 is a crosssection on about line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

In Fig. 1, I show the improved device A in connection with a systemwherein compressed air may be operated to produce a gas in connectionwith the hydro-carbon for illuminating purposes.

The filter A comprises a tubular body B which may be of' brass or othersuitable material and is threaded at its ends for the .reception of' thecaps C and D, the former having a threaded opening at C and the latterhaving a threaded nipple D for connection with pipes, the cap piecesbeing otherwise alike. These cap pieces, it will be noticed, areprovided with internal annular shoulders l and 2, which form seatsrespec- `tively for the gaskets E and chamois strainers F. The chamoisstrainers are pressed against their seats by the frame G of' the wirecloth screens Gr, and the said frames G are pressed upon by the gasketsE, as

shown, so that when the caps are turned tightly home from theirrespective ends of the body B, the gaskets will form a tight jointbetween the body B and the caps and the said gaskets projecting inwardlyover the shoulders 2 may operate to secure the Wire cloth screens andthrough them the chamois strainers, as best shown in Fig. 2 of thedrawing.

The body B is filled with any suitable filtering material H, such ascotton, Wool or the like.

In operation, the chamois skin strainer will serve to remove Water fromthe hydrocarbon and the wire cloth screens Will operate to remove anycoarse impurities` while the finer impurities and sediment and the likewill be stopped by the filtering material H.

It will be noticed that the strainer can be conveniently applied for useb v making the connections at C and D and can also be readily taken downfor renewal of any of the parts or for other repairs, as may benecessary.

I claim:

l. The combination in a filter of a body portion, a cap screwed thereonand having an internal shoulder opposite the end of' the body and asecond shoulder of less diameter than the first and between the same andthe end of' the cap, a screen and strainer fitting said smaller shoulderand a gasket on the larger shoulder and betwen the same and the bodv ot'the filte and extending inwardly to overlie and secure the screen,substantially as set forth.

2. The combination in a filter with the body portion and a cap appliedthereto and shouldered forming a seat for a gasket and having a shoulderbeyond said first shoulder, straining devices seated against said secondshoulder and a gasket held against the first shoulder and projectinginwardly to secure the straining devices upon the second shoulder,substantially as set forth.
